To a different world
Married with kids
The hotel rooms
The emptiness
So let's get it on."

I did what I set out to do. I kept my word. I did it.
A collection of poems about Cracow. Or at least a foreign man's experience of the city.
No other calling other than to sit and write. Focus. Dedication.
They are far from perfect. But I did it.

His book however is not for the faint hearted, it's often hilarious but also often not, some of the subject matter can be disturbing as well as revealing. The author lifts the lid on many of lifeâ€™s darker moments and tabooâ€™s and brings them to the fore in his own no hold barred way.
Heâ€™ll make you laugh with such classics as â€œThe Night We Broke the Bedâ€ but please be warned if you take this journey into the world through the eyes of the author you will gain an insight into things you may wish you had not. The author reveals the in workings of a disturbed mind as he describes â€œPost Traumatic Stress Disorderâ€ and â€œChild Abuseâ€ and their effect in all too real detail, after reading this book youâ€™ll find it impossible to look at the world quite in the same ever again.
This book has been rated "R" by the author due to some of the subjects covered in it, and not because of bad language usage.A R Tranterhttp://www.booksie.com/a_r_tranterPoetry Analysis: the Soul's Errand by Sir Walter Raleighhttp://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/lawson_luke/poetry-analysis:-the-souls-errand-by-sir-walter-raleigh2015-03-03T10:17:25-01:00A compendious and concise analysis of Sir Walter Raleigh's masterpiece: 'The Soul's Errand.'Lawson Lukehttp://www.booksie.com/lawson_lukeThoughtshttp://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/anandios/thoughts2015-03-03T04:55:41-01:00political and philosophical thoughtsAnandioshttp://www.booksie.com/anandiosLa divine mascaradehttp://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/patryck_froissart/la-divine-mascarade2015-02-03T06:30:15-01:00Un sombre tableau du monde et des hommes qui le font.Patryck Froissarthttp://www.booksie.com/patryck_froissartazrabhttp://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/soz_najibabadi/azrab2015-01-17T16:13:49-01:00Soz NajibabadiSoz Najibabadihttp://www.booksie.com/soz_najibabadiWorld at Warhttp://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/dawnthelambs/world-at-war2015-01-13T09:35:55-01:00These thought always come to my mind.
What's the point of the world problems, when the solution is barely an arms length away.
People make it look so difficult to solve, and the people of the world complain thinking it need to be solve by higher authority.
People of the world rely on them.
You want the solution?

R J Dent's sensitive translation of the Poems & Fragments from ancient Greek into lively modern English promises to rescue Alcaeus's ethereal poetry from obscurity.R J Denthttp://www.booksie.com/r_j_dentBy Anonymoushttp://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/aaron_nell_millado/by-anonymous2015-01-05T19:07:48-01:00By Anonymous is the first book of poems written and compiled by Aaron Nell Millado. The poems included vary in style and are more experimental than having one coherent style; but they do have one thing in common: they have the author's unique and creative point-of-view.Aaron Nell Milladohttp://www.booksie.com/aaron_nell_milladoReverie: A Brief Anthologyhttp://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/trinabrata/reverie:-a-brief-anthology2014-12-30T12:17:11-01:00Life and death; love and hatred; hope and despair - these are all the elements combining which the poetry of life can be composed. There is poetry in every such aspects and the finding the essence of such poetry, one can find solace in the middle of all the chaos and confusion. This brief anthology is an effort to provide an insight on the different aspects of the human life without which even death might seem incomplete.Trinabratahttp://www.booksie.com/trinabratakdjdhddjhttp://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/shirleyirie/kdjdhddj2014-12-22T20:27:07-01:00its about loveShirleyiriehttp://www.booksie.com/shirleyirieThis Present Garden Of Painhttp://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/theroseknows/this-present-garden-of-pain2014-12-10T10:37:11-01:00The author takes you on a walk through the garden of an abuse survivor.

Theroseknowshttp://www.booksie.com/theroseknowsDie Gurkha Mutter und Mental Molotovs (Satis Shroff)http://www.booksie.com/poetry/book/4yetile/die-gurkha-mutter-und-mental-molotovs-(satis-shroff)2014-12-10T07:07:12-01:00This collection does not profess to represent Nepali literature as a whole, but lays emphasis on certain themes that crop up in the daily lives of the Nepalese. The Nepalese world that the Nepalese poets and writers describe and create is a different one, compared to the western one. It is true that modern technology and globalisation have reached Kathmandu Valley and the bigger towns of the Himalayan Kingdom, but the world outside Kathmandu Valley still remains rural and untouched by modernity.
The trekking tourism has been booming along the much-treaded trails but village-life has changed little. The traditional caste-system prevails. Nepal still has immense problems in the socio-cultural, religious, economic sectors. The rampant corruption in all sectors, with special emphasis in politics, commercial and economic sectors has shaken the beliefs of generations of Nepalis. The much-proclaimed democracy initiated in 1990 hasn't been able to fulfill its promises. According to some NGOs at least 200,000 Nepalese left their homes and another 1,8 million sought refuge in other countries during the decade long war between King Birendra's government and the maoists. Between 1996 and 2005 the Maoists killed 4,500 Nepalese and the Royal Nepalese Army and police killed 8,200 Nepalese.
As time has shown us in the past, there is no genuine cure for all the problems of this country. Nepal's democracy has to learn to crawl before it can walk and after a decade of constitutional democracy, the nation is still in its infancy. The incessant changes of governments and the rise of communism is irritating not only to the people within, but also the comity of aid-giving nations without. Despite the 40,000 NGOs and aid-giving agencies, Nepal still belongs to the Least Developed Countries. Thereâ€™s definitely something wrong in this nature paradise.
This book cries to be written because there are hardly any books written by Nepali authors. It's always the traveling tourist, geologist, geographer, biologist, climber and ethnologist who writes about Nepal and its people, environment, flora and fauna. The Nepalis are mostly unpaid actors in these visit-Nepal-scenarios published in New York, Paris, Munich and Sydney and they are described through western eyes. But there have been generations of thinking and writing Nepalis, who were either educated in old Benares (Varanasi), in British Public Schools in Darjeeling and government schools and colleges in Nepal and India, who have written and published hundreds of books and magazines. In Patan's Madan Puraskar Library alone, which Mr. Kamal Mani Dixit, Patan's Man of Letters, describes as the "Temple of Nepali language." there are 15,000 Nepali books and 3500 different magazines and periodicals about which the western world hasn't heard or read. A start was made by Michael Hutt of the School of Oriental Studies London, in his English translation of contemporary Nepali prose and verse in Himalayan Voices and Modern Nepali Literature.
This collection of Nepali poems and prose is a step in the direction of opening Nepal's literature to the German-speaking world in Germany, Austria, South Tirol and Switzerland. If this book creates sympathy and understanding of the Nepali psyche, culture, religion, living conditions and human problems in the Himalayan urban and rural environment in daily life, then it has achieved its goal.
